Dull dry hair help is here! Stop damage in its tracks with quick trip to a hair care professional who provides a very special treatment known as a gloss, sealant or “overlay.” Whatever you call it, this 20-minute treatment is like a miracle — it boosts color & shine while protecting every strand of your tresses with a moisturizing sheen. Drugstores sell similar “gloss” or “glaze” products, and while these can be helpful they do not provide the same intensive conditioning nor the long-term protection that only a salon is equipped to provide (a heat lamp is often used to “set” the overlay). If your hair seems to be brittle, has split ends, and lacks shine, we suggest investing in a professional service of deep conditioning and a sealing gloss. The treatment moisturizes the hair while realigning the cuticle with positive ions providing shine, and smoothness. The hair glosses are translucent; therefore any color you choose from clear to the most natural or exciting shades will leave your hair with the most incredible silky feeling. They last 6-8...

With all the great color techniques available — tints, glosses, a rainbow of semi/demi permanent shades, just to name a few –it’s important to consider hair products that will preserve your hair color as long as possible, and keep you hair in top condition as well. With each shampoo, color loses its intensity. The hair has been altered by successive color-processing, and is dry and brittle. To preserve long-lasting vibrant color, and regain healthy, hair, Renee Furterer has selected two natural, active ingredients. Okara extract:  Soy protein is similar to the keratin structure, repairs and restructures hair. Leaving hair soft, detangled, and radiant.

The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame recently announced the names of 2014’s inductees — TempleU grads Hall and Oates are on the list, along with Nirvana, Kiss and Peter Gabriel. I’m sure our local boys are talented and all but I can’t help wonder: Would they have gotten as far without those sweet, sweet mullets? MEET THE MULLET:   Business up front, party in the back. The first true “Unisex” haircut —  back when it seemed like a good idea to style hair with no concern for gender whatsoever. HISTORY:   First known trendsetters of this style were a small band of young Byzantine men in the 6th century, but it didn’t really catch on until the 1980’s, aka Worst Decade for Hair Ever. WEIRD FACT:   In 2010, the Islamic government of Iran issued grooming updates for male citizens specifically outlawing the mullet hairstyle due to its strong association with Western culture. NOTEWORTHY MULLETS:   Cro-Magnon Man, King Louis XIV, Buffalo Bill, Billy Ray Cyrus, Andre Agassi, Barry White, Carol Brady, Joe Dirt, Chuck Norris, Davis Bowie, Wayne Gretzky, Hulk Hogan, John Stamos, Macgyver, Michael Bolton, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Joan Jett, Brian Bosworth, Mel Gibson, Paul McCartney, Duran Duran (all of them) SYNONYMS:  Hi-Lo, Bi-Level, Shorty Longback, Camaro Crash Helmet, Nape Drape, Neck Warmer, Shoulder Sweeper, Collar Curtain, Dust Ruffle, Beaver Paddle, Mississippi Mudflap, Kentucky Waterfall, Tennessee Tophat, Alabama Shag, Texas Tailgate, Canadian Passport, Squirrel Pelt, Hockey Haircut, Soccer Rocker, Coon Tail, Yes-Nope, 10/90, Skull Rug, Achy-Breaky-Big-Mistakey TERMINOLOGY: The word “mullet” as a hairstyle first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1994, after the Beastie Boys hit “Mullet...

  RENE FURTERER LISSEA Our hair is under constant attack from heat, dryness, chemicals and other environmental stresses (if your hair is long, add time to that list, as well). But wait, there’s hope!  Rene Furterer’s LISSEA line of smoothing hair products — formulated specifically to tame “unruly” manes — has beauty bloggers singing Hallelujah. AdviceSisters blog recommends the thermal protecting spray, particularly. Advice Sister Allison points out that other similar protectants weigh her hair down, so it almost feels unwashed. She felt the LISSEA spray was very light and quick-drying, leaving no residue whatsoever. Her hair felt bouncy but still smooth, with additional shine. She also appreciates the product’s luxe smell & feel. At HauteSkinCare&Beauty, blogger Doran Tomoko declared she’s a fan of their shampoo & conditioner for four reasons: 1. LISSEA tames her “super frizzy” hair 1. controls static 2. detangles 3. thermal protection She also loves the scent of bergamot. Finally, a beauty editor at TheBeautyEdge tested LISSEA leave-in smoothing fluid on color-treated hair over last Summer, and many long hours at the beach. We have a winnah! Silky-soft results, and so easy to use on damp or dry hair. She was also wild about the scent (she detected ginger & vanilla as well as bergamot) . What else? As usual, the same high-quality, expertly-blended, all-natural botanics you’d expect from Rene Furterer.  Alkekenge extract smooths and controls, while Avocado oil nourishes and moisturizes.
